Because it does not suit your incorrect theories,
you choose to disregard the difference that in
Autodesk, the purchaser of the copies did not make
them, whereas in the hypothetical GPL download case,
the downloader is himself making the copies and is
permitted to do so only by obeying the terms of the
license, which prohibit conveyance unless done under
its terms.
